Sydney, I have just found your channel and you are the bravest person I know. I have had 21 back operations and I have found that using a rubber, air filled donut relieved alot of the pressure. You can regulate the amount of air in the donut to your comfort. I also found that using a lazy susan on the seat of my car with the donut cut down on the chaffing and the possibility of pressure sores. I am not paralyzed but my entire spine is fused so my mobility is almost non-existant. I will pray for you and hope that in the very near future science will find a way to reverse your paralysis. You are a beautiful young lady both inside and out. I am a Grandfather of 5 boys and I too was an athlete (Olympic) and your story has inspired me to not give up and to fight through the pain and get more active. God bless you and you are the strongest girl, keep fighting and enjoy the tennis and college.
What year for Olympics and what sport? Can’t find any Robert Greason that was in the Olympics.
I always had the idea for your situation, is to alter a Segway machine that would keep you standing instead of sitting too long. This would also help your digestive system. My heart is with you!
I believe something like that already exists. I don’t know what it’s called tho.

As a former wound care nurse for many years you inspire me !thank you for spreading the word on the dangers of pressure wounds ! You will absolutely help save lives ❤
That smile after all this stuff happening to you inspires me NGL
I was only thinking about you and wondering how you were doing yesterday. Glad to see you looking well. Prayers that you keep healing up well 🙏
so glad to see ur back at school! so annoying to have a hole, wound care can be so tiring, definitely hope it heals on its own!
You’re such a beautiful person. Wishing you the best. 💛
Syd, I know exactly what you mean about the whole pressure sore ordeal, i gone through this quite a few times when I was in school, I've been out of school since 1992, and I haven't gotten a pressure sore since 1990, and I've never gotten a pressure sore that bad before, I had a nurse come to my house and check the progress of the pressure sores, and change the bandages!! You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers, every day and night!!! Much love to you Syd, and your family!!! God bless you and your family!!! Stay safe in whatever you do on a daily basis!!! Your family member, friend Bob Compton. from, Maryland
Sorry you are going through all this. Appreciate you updating us - we care. Here's hoping for a rapid improvement in your healing so that you can return to just enjoying college life. Best wishes.
YES SYDNEY ! Im praying & believing for God - as you said "who's got you" - to bring total healing to your entire body from everything from head to toe! Including the injury causing the paralysis. Many people Im sure are praying for you but I will be believing & expecting yours & thanking God in advance for your healing everyday until your testimony is here on your RUclips. You are a beautiful, exceptional young woman! When GOD steps in miracles happen & Im asking & believing for yours to happen soon to get back to college & share your miracle story on campus & to the world in Jesus' All-powerful name I pray. He has heard your prayers & knows your name Sydney ❤️✝️
Wow you have been through so much! I am a paraplegic post 16 1/2 years. I’ve dealt with wounds and a flap surgery. I use Bemer now for skin issues and also Bemer b- light which has been a game changer for healing. Check it out. Using the Bemer Mat daily has helped with my lymphatic system and circulation. That’s huge for us being in chairs all the time. This PEMF device is something I believe every spinal cord injury needs to have daily for their routine. It will help you to have a better quality of life. Will keep you in my prayers for complete healing🙏🙏
I’m going to look into that! thank you!
i’m glad you’re okay!! 🤍 i was rooting for you going back to school in the last video! sending u healing vibes!! 🤍
Ok...God I hope you read this, Sydney...
Plzzzz do a check of your body every night or every morning, and if you ever have " just a nick' again, plzzzzz understand that your whole body is majorly compromised, so it is not dramatic AT ALL that you immediately call your doctor to be physically seen and also plzzz speak with your doctor about being checked every 3 months or maybe in your case once a month for an overall "detailed" scan until your body has at least 3 years of Noooo infections. Plz listen to your body and take all very serious precautions because you are precious and have a beautiful life to live and share. God bless you, your Doctors, your nurses, and your family and friend's
Just want to say I support you! You’re very strong. I just found your video from three years ago, I’m going through a back injury myself. Kindly encouraging you! And making those best wishes (: keep forward
-Alan
Sydney, my thoughts and love are with you always. I am so thrilled that you are taking so many vitamins and just wanted to remind you that I was cured of a seizure and paralysis condition with milk thistle and chalk water and later cured of excessive tiredness with andrographis. It can never hurt to add andrographis / kalmegh / nilavembu and milk thistle to your growing list, along with myrrh and galangal. I am also in use of excessive amounts of marshmallow root and echinacea for the whole winter.
For most of my life, I actually did have irritation and itchiness underneath, but that goes away with avoiding onion and garlic and itchy salts like pink salt. I actually did get the irritation underneath followed by the cough and flu that I still have today, because I maintained such a super energy over using the andrographis and milk thistle that I went for my long walks anyway after snow when the roads were treated with the toxic pink salt and the salt got me sick. So, I will still be recovering for another day or two. I made the mistake of going back to having wheat after being gluten free for so long, and I realize again that wheat is not too good for me, so my herbs are even stronger when I stay gluten free. I have stayed vegan since using andrographis everyday, and agree having occasional gelatin as cold medication or capsules is not really NOT vegan.
Anyway, I just hope you recover and finally heal up all your wounds. It is after that that the cure could still happen for you.
Thank you for updating so I know how to pray. I thought of 2 Corinthians 1:3-5 and that God will bring you through this and through that empower you to comfort others
Glad to hear this report, Sydney, as I looked for an upodate every day! You are inspirational and courageous, know what a big impact you are having to so many people!
I'm not sure if you saw my post in your last video, but I have advanced Ms and I am completely paralyzed in my legs and my right arm. I am 100% chair bound and bed bound. I spend my entire day sitting until I'm in bed. In my situation, I can't even do weight shifts because I only have one arm. However, I am lucky to have never experienced a pressure sore and I attribute it to two things. First of all, I used to be extremely skinny. I'm 5'5 and I weighed about 105 lb. Because of this, I didn't have a lot of fat around my buttocks. Sitting on a chair hurt because my bones were sticking through. I've put on about 30 lb and I don't regret it one bit because it gives my bottom a little cushion. You don't want to get too heavy because then you're going to have too much weight to cause pressure, but it's good to have a little more padding. The second thing that has saved me is a chair pad that is made by the company purple. I'm sure you've seen their commercials about the bedding that they make. This is a chair pad that is gel but it's almost like a grid type of pad. It never loses its shape or form after sitting on it and remains firm yet comforts the pressure. I sit on this pad every hour of the day and night until I get into bed. They are reasonably priced, mine I got for under $ $100. This has saved me from pressure sores and on comfort. I am speaking from direct experience. I do not like memory foam. I will not invest in a chair pad that cost hundreds of dollars. I've tried everything. The only thing that works for me is the purple pad and I've used it for years. Never have had a sore bottom since being used. Very sore bottom when I was skinnier and used memory foam. It was so sore that it was to the point where I had to take breaks like you and lay down on my stomach make sure that my bottom was up to relieve pressure.
Sydney Fowler’s videos make me smile 😊
Me too!
@@Mileyworld2356 That’s good! I’m really happy for you! 😊
You were very lucky. My mum died from sepsis because of a pressure sore at the bottom of her spine. You could literally get your whole hand in it.
i can relate. it is tough when you feel that your body has betrayed you at times.
ive been thru abcess, fistula, crohns, surgeries, etc.
You are a special girl and im so glad you can talk to us!
Sydney, you are so brave and humble. I love watching your videos even though I am wwwwaaaaayyyyyy older than you. I broke my leg about 8 months ago. I’m really trying to be better about moving around. My leg is crooked. I hop it straightens out soon. Your videos help so much. Thank you sweet girl and many blessings.
So glad to see you’re doing better. Sending continued positive, healing energy to you. 🩷
I know a lot of young people who have no physical limitations but who whine and complain about having to exert themselves, but here you are actually looking forward to 6:00 a.m. tennis practice!
We are so very thankful that you are doing better and that you are able to be back at school. Love and miss you. Take care of yourself.❤❤
I'm so Happy to see you feeling better, remember take one day at a time, and YES ,GOD GOTS YOU IN HIS HANDS. SO MUCH LOVE FOR YOU KIDDO.XOXO
I was so worried about you! I kept waiting for another video to come out. I am so glad that you are okay. I am concerned about you because it seems like this kind of rattled you a bit, which is understandable. Is there someone at school you can talk to? You have been through so much in the past few months, my heart goes out to you and your strength and bravery are characteristics that I hope to strive for. Good luck Sydney!
So glad you are getting better. You are an inspiration to everyone. Take care x
Prayers you continue to improve and that all those pesky infections will leave you alone. ❤️
Total inspiration to many people Sydney Praying 🙏 for you from 🇬🇧
I'm so glad you are healing and doing better.
Your kicking butt. Keep it up. Keep pushing and don't let this get you down. You haven't this far so keep showing that sore who's boss
Hi my names Trevor and I’m 28 years old and I had bedsores since 2013 and I’m still dealing with them atm and I’m also a paraplegic aka handicapped person
Just wanted to say still sending you lots of positive thoughts and prayers.❤
Praying for you dear girl, you are such a joyful beautiful girl, thank you for sharing!
So glad you are able to get back to some semblance of your routine! Also that you have regular care to stay on top of things. I will continue to ask God to watch out for you!
So glad to see you healing with high spirits❤❤❤
So glad you're mostly back to life!
Im also in a wheelchair and thankfully ive only gotten 1 pressure sore, but my friend who had a bad ski accident is in a full leg cast, when they put the cast on they put it on way too tight so she was complaining about it and the checked under the cast and she had a pressure sore, pressure sores are NO JOKE
Good morning Sydney happy Thursday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you
You are so awesome and so amazing!!!! Super proud of you!!!! So happy you are healing now!!!!!
Sydney I am so happy you are doing better! Hang in there this will just be a bad memory soon.
😮Sydney thats sooo challenging. Quite the process is such an understatement. Aaargh thats absolutely rubbish. So good to see you more like your fabulous self and thanks for super share x
Thank youuu
Thank you so much.
It’s crazy I never knew how pressures sores were so prevalent. My moms been paraplegic since before I was born. 55yrs and she’s never had a pressure sore. I guess we should count our blessings. She has had injuries though, burnt her feet driving her car(Volkswagen rabbit 1980 apparently get hot by the pedals) among other wounds that have healed.
Prayers! You are AWESOME!!!
Wishing you well. Good to focus on gut health, as antibiotics really do a number on your friendly gut bacteria. You are right to say “inside out” healing xx
I am glad that you are doing better! How have your classes been going? I hope your professors have been understanding.
awesome been wanting to know how things have been going with you you're looking good love the make up very pretty :) can't wait to watch
Glad you are doing better. Sending healing vibes and hoping you are on the mend. Have you ever tried Reiki?
Praying for you Sydney!!!
I have been paralyzed since birth
Prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏 you feel better soon 😊
O hope you see this because I seen you had a tattoo a few months back , I too am prone to to infection and I realized that after I had got tattoos I then came down with a staff infection , so no more tattoos for me !
You're an inspiration ❤
I love you too.
Can you put something in your wheelchair to help prevent pressure sores? Like a gel cushion? Glad to hear you are doing better.
Ive been dealing with mine 2 years and it just ripped open again and I'm not in your situation but it was from being in a hospital bed inly 4 days not being moved. They suck
Have you ever been evaluated by immunology/has your immunity been tested? Do they know whether there could be an underlying condition making you more prone to those severe infections?
So sorry. (You look soooo very pretty. )
Hope your doing well
You are such a sweet angel! Jesus got this ❤
How do you get a pressure sore? Im a more recent wheelchair user but I only use my manual outside of the house.. thats the only time I need it Can I get a pressure sore too?
Have you considered a Roho cushion? You are in my prayers
I have a roho cushion on my wheelchair I have to put air in it all the time
I'm getting my first Roho cushion in a few weeks very excited for it
@@victoriapanaro9439 oh cool I currently got one for the wheelchair and I have to put air in it all the time
Poor tbing. Abcesses are the worst. Trust me I know. I had one huge one in my tonsils once. So bad. Tben one in my armpit , tben one on my butt cheek it got so bad I couldn’t sit to drive. The walk in I went to literally just took a scapal and cut a hole out of my butt cheek to remove it with me wide awake and sat squeezing. It hurt so bad it ain’t even funny like more then having kids it hurt so bad. Tbat was three I’ve had and I pray to not ever get one again. The one in my armpit they gave me sipro idk how that’s spelt but it’s a really strong antibiotic and it made it go away. But made me so sick. The one in my tonsils I had to go to a ENR specialist and he had a huge syringe and sat sucking Al the stuff out of it and I had immediate relief
Your in my prayers sweet girl 🙏
I’m praying that infection does not love your body and prayfully it will not come back
I had a brain injury since I was 2 years old
❤❤❤
Trust in the lord !
God bless❤
Get some nutritious healthy food in you too. Hope you have a good university cafeteria. With quality food.
Good luck, our Warrior Princess.
Change your diet, you will have a massive change , include garlic (eat everyday ), stop saying that infection loves you, this is not true. You are so beautiful and with a positive attitude you deserve another life. Try the diet and you will see. Please no more fast food or Coke
U got this🦾
